Drove a 750 sport today. It has the Weber carb and a k&n metal and mesh filter which appears to be off a car. Jets are not standard and have been recently cleaned. Very pleased to report it has No Flatspot. Was planning to put individual carbs, but I cannot be bothered to fix a problem which doesn't exist. Any other Weber success stories?

I haven't used any but they are "Golden tire" brand so google em up and Im sure there will be more info in the FAQ's and try searching the forum as there has been much discussion re tires and 17" conversions I still have a pile of original Michelins .... which other forum members are continually pestering me to sell

and at present rate of consumption will last well into the next century ( I seem to recall saying that last century too )

actually not so much . They have been stored correctly since I have had them . I have one that I got as old stock from a shop and that tire had spent a few years on a rack , and 3 rears and 2 fronts I got fresh from a supplier . The one from the shop is even a different colour to the others and it is hard , where as the others seem about the same as a new tire I got for the RD last month ( I did a comparison just for the hell of it , by sticking a ball point pen into it to test for hardness) , I doubt that they will ever see the road tho

I bought a bike last Wednesday and the seller put new tyres on for me, one being a rear Macadam. After a spirited run up through the mountains I for some reason checked the tyre dates and the back one said (0806)

Although it hung on ok it'll be coming off and a Pirelli Super Venom will be going on to match the front.

Thanks! I spoke with a mechanic who has had quite a few of these in his shop over the years. After clogged jets, vacuum leaks and fuel pressure problems seem to be the most prevalent. He believes my bike has oversized venturies and we both think my airfilter looks very similar to one off a Porsche 914
